ISO 22301:2012
Ensuring Business Resilience
Businesses need resilience to survive in an ever-evolving global marketplace. They need to contend with disruptions in the environment, with technical failures and incidents, emergencies and disasters caused by intentional and unintentional human acts. The aftermath of unforeseen business disruptions may be extremely serious involving loss of life, loss of assets or income, or failure to provide products and services necessary for the organization’s survival. Organizations, in order to maintain business continuity, need to plan for contingencies and disaster recovery. A well-defined incident response structure needs to be in place to ensure continued business operations.
What is ISO 22301?
ISO 22301 specifies requirements for establishing and managing an effective Business Continuity Management System (BCMS) against business disruptions. It helps in identifying potential threats to an organization and implementing procedures to deal with those threats in the event they materialize. Its well-defined structure incorporates adaptive, proactive and reactive strategies in all phases before, during and after a disruptive incident. This arms an organization with proper contingency preparedness to face and recover from business disruptions and continue operations. Auditing to this standard enable organizations to demonstrate compliance to requirements for disaster preparedness.
